Processing Steps

Suitability

Parcels can have zero suitability because:

  • They are single family homes and not likely to change

  • They are in the pipeline and have already been accounted for – This includes parcels that are apart of master planned developments

Parcels that have been identified as a “development opportunity sites” are rated as the highest suitability.

Zero_Suit   <- subset(parcels, parcels$tod_suit == 0)
Suitability <- subset(parcels, parcels$tod_suit != 0)

Dev_Sites <- subset(parcels, parcels$DO_Site == 1)
Dev_Sites$PrtlDOS <- as.factor(Dev_Sites$PrtlDOS)

# multiple layer tmap map, Dev Sites (Partial navy #40516f Full purple #8400a8), 0 suit gray, suit ramp blue to teal
# add station and station areas

tm_shape(Zero_Suit) + tm_polygons(col = "#D3D3D3",
                                  lwd = 0.1,
                                  labels = "No Suitability") +
  tm_shape(Suitability) + tm_polygons(col = "tod_suit",
                                      lwd = 0.1,
                                      palette = suit_pal,
                                      title = "Suitability") +
  tm_shape(Dev_Sites) + tm_polygons(col = "PrtlDOS",
                                    lwd = 0.1,
                                    palette = c("#8400a8", "#40516f"),
                                    labels = c("Full DO Site", "Partial DO Site"),
                                    title = "Developmet Sites") +
  tm_shape(stn_area) + tm_polygons(col = "#D3D3D3", alpha = 0.1) + 
  tm_shape(stations) + tm_dots()

Because mapdeck does not allow for turning layers on and off I elevated Partial DO Sites so that that dimension can be retained. Let me know what you think.

Base Line Capacity

This is the baseline for the allocation process out side of stations areas, parcels within station areas receive additional processing.

Build Out Capacity

  • Each station area, at full build out, will have enough capacity to meet certain targets set by the station typology.

  • We assume that development is likely to be most intense near to the station and on the high suitability sites.

  • We assume that residential development will become a higher proportion of total development at the edges of the station area.

  • Existing development, including development with no suitability for change, counts towards the activity targets and influences the distribution of additional growth within a station area.

  • Pipeline and Existing development are accounted for (changed wording)
